Keep Hope Moving

Who is critical to the community project of your faith?

Colossians 4:15

Pass on my greetings to the sisters and brothers at Laodicea, to Nympha, and to the church in her house.

Paul’s sign-off reads like end credits: Aristarchus, Epaphras, Nympha, Justus—names rarely preached but vital to the story. Nympha hosted church in her home, she is singled out as worthy of greetings & respect for loving and supporting the disciples in her community. The gospel spreads on the backs of quiet collaborators who translate, host, copy letters, mentor new believers. Their ministry is proof that faith is a group project, not a solo brand. Who are your unseen co-laborers—administrators, caregivers, baristas, friends—who keep hope moving?

Who is critical to the community project of your faith? Write a brief note (text, DM, sticky-note blessing) to someone whose behind-the-scenes faithfulness strengthens your own. Name the gift you see in them. Send it. Invisible threads of gratitude reinforce the fabric of community.
